Dr Michael Aldous

School of Queen's Management School

I'm a business historian with an interest in the ownership and organisation of firms. Recently I investigated the historical evolution of firms involved in international trade and business in the 19th century. This research focused on how choice of organizational form effects firm performance, and considering implications for understanding globalization. Currently I'm working on a Leverhulme Trust grant investigating British CEOs in the 20th century, examining the effect of factors such as personality traits, career progression, and networks, on firm performance.
